Overview

  • EA now requires employees in hybrid roles to work in-office at least three days per week, with flexibility for other roles.
  • Employees living within 30 miles of an EA office are mandated to adopt the hybrid model, while those beyond the radius will remain remote unless otherwise designated.
  • The company is eliminating the 'offsite local' work model within 3–24 months, giving affected employees a minimum of 12 weeks' notice.
  • Future remote hires and any exceptions to the new work policy will require direct approval from EA's CEO or a designated executive.
  • Some employees have expressed concerns about the policy, citing challenges with long commutes, childcare, and medical accommodations.
